(and I hope you really do come here and read our comments)
I will always admire your ability to express yourself. I am grateful Ronald Reagan had you on his side.
Whenever I read your columns I am torn between the pearls of wisdom you dispense and the sense of touchy-feely group therapy you seem to evoke. "There, there Dems. Lay down on the couch and tell Dr. Peggy allllll about it..."
I would not feel sorry for the Democrats because their heydey is not far off. You see, their specialty is exploiting the weak and the victimized for political gain. As long as we have open borders, public school sex education and racy television programming, there will always be new waves of people with low money, low morals or both to promise the moon to. The poor and the deviant, alas, will always be with us.
The Democrat Party's salvation will come as self-indulgent Baby Boomers, with collapsing IRAs and 401Ks that won't be enough to satisfy their lifestyles, flood en masse into their senior years, needing more medicines, more health care and more benefits - all of which they will demand from an ever-dwindling workforce, many of whom are survivors of the Abortion War their self-indulgent parents and grandparents fought for.
And who will ride to their rescue to make sure the aging Boomers can steal their "fair share" from their children? Why the government, of course! And who will make government theft a priority in their politicking? Why, the liberals, that's who. And who are the liberals? Why, it's the Democrats, that's who.
When 2012 arrives, I predict the Democrat Party will consist *primarily* of poor minorities, the elderly and sexual deviants. They will be the ones the Democrats can still promise the weighty hand of government can serve - plundering the country's producers for as much loot as they can possibly get.
And before you write that off as "the fringe", realize that all three groups are expanding as few other segments of our society. The ones who can most elequantly state their needs and espouse their positions will be voted into power.
Republicans will stand up for the working class, the producers, the military and the self-reliant. And it won't be enough. By 2020, if God so allows us to continue, we will resemble Sweden.
